Horseradish Culture.

To grow horseradish properly, it
requires high manuring, greater than
viii pay to apply to that crop alone,
hence it is almost invariably grown
secondary to some other crop that is
highly manured, usually early cab
bages are planted out in rows two feet
apart, the Horseradish is set out mid
way between the rows of cabbages, and
eighteen inches apart in the rows. The
sets are small roots cut off in preparing
the Horseradish for market. These are
four to six inches long, and cut square
at the top and sloping below, SO that
they may be planted right end up.
These sets are planted in holes made
by light iron bar, SO deep that the
top of the set is three inches below the
surface; this allows the cabbages to be
cultivated as if there were no Horse
ratlish there, and when the crop of
early cabbages is cut off, the land is
given up to the other crop. If Horse
radish is planted, it should always be
dug at the end of the first season,
whether there is sale for it or not, as
left longer, it takes possession of the
roots, small as well as large, are dug
in the fall, and stored in pits like other
roots. For market they are washed
and trimmed, and sold by the ton. Our
correspondent asks about putting up
Horseradish. 1t is grated, placed
in wide-mouthed bottles, and covered
with vinegar, but in this condition it is
supplied by those who take it from
house to house. In the markets it is
furnished grated by those who sell
vegetables. Agriculturist.

President Cleveland Saving His
Salary.

President Cleveland is said to be
saving three-fifths of his salary. This
is thrifty showing for newly
married man, to say the least of it.
Despite all the talk one hears about
the insufficiency of the Presidential
salary there is no doubt that it is not
only ample for all the requirements of
the office, but sufficiently large to
allow of the saving of a snug little
fortune every year besides. He has
no bills to pay for rent, heating or
lighting, and the staff of messengers
and doorkeepers provided at Govern
ment expense is sufficiently large to
obviate the necessity of hiring many
servants out of the Presidential purse.
The five State dinners required to be
given each year are, comparatively
speaking, Inexpensive affairs. Prob
ably none of them ever cost over $500,
or $400 at the outside. The flowers,
which are ordinarily matter OF con-
siderable expense, are furnished by the
White House conservatory and the
lighthouses of the Congressional gar
dens, and the music is furnished by
the Marine Band. At the receptions
nothing is served-not even ice-water.
There is absolutely no expense what
ever attached to them. Every Presi-
dent managed to save some little
money out of his salary. Mr.. Cleve-
land will retire at the end of his term
with not less, certainly, than $120, 900.
That is doing better, probably, than
any of his predecessors did. 1t as
suredly is more than he would have
made at his practice in Buffalo in four
years. On the whole, therefore, it
can be said without much fear of con-
tradiction that the Presidential office
is not half so bad an investment finan-
cially as most people have been led to
believe by the statements appearing
from time to time in the newspapers

ozar Nicholas and the Erenonman.

Apropos of Russia, writes Paris
correspondent of The NeU York
Graphic. / am reminded of an anec-
dote vouched for as authentic and re-
lated by that clever journalist, Aurel-
ian Scholl.
Gar Nicholas, returning from pay
ing an early visit to one of his daGlgh-
ters, noticed at the door of a hotel a
young man with cigar in his mouth.
Nicholas could not tolerate the smell
of tobacco.
You are foreigner, sir?" he asked.
Eyes, general" was the reply, Il
have Just arrived from Paris"
'Then you are unaware that smok-
ing in the streets of St. Petersburg is
forbidden. / warn you lest your
ignorance get you into trouble"
Thanks, general. And the Paris
ian threw away his cigar.
But if smoking was not allowed,
neither was it permitted to address
the emperor; and scarcely had the
latter passed out of sight when two
police officers approached the traveller
and he was soon ON his way to the
station, where he remained until 10 in
the evening in the society of the
arrested the previous night.
When the superintendent questioned
him he told his story; how an officer

cigar, and that he had at once done so.

chief of the Third section. The latter,
thinking the adventure might have
some unpleasant political consequence
that the Frenchman might lodge a
complaint with his ambassador and
that he (the chief might be blamed
for the action of his subordinates-
decided to inform the emperor of what
had happened.

When an officer in uniform came to
his hotel the poor Frenchman had
visions of Siberia and began to regret
bitterly having yielded to his desire to

was only restored to his usual equani-
nifty when Nicholas explained to him
the cause of his unpleasant adventure.

ing, !" added the emperor; sand if you
remain any time in Russia it will give
me pleasure to prove to you that we
are not as uncivilized as we may seem

Terrible incident of the war.

During the tumult and excitement
of the late War one of the saddest
incidents that occurred was the mar
riage and death of Annie, eldest
daughter of Gov. Pickens of South
Carolina. In the midst of the great
events of the War such tragedies were
comparatively unnoticed, but now that
time has calmed the troubled sea of
strife and contention a picture of that
scene will be of general interest and
will awaken a chord of sympathy in
the hearts of all who read it.
April %, 1868, in Charleston, S. c.,
at the residence of Gov. Pickens, a
party was assembled to witness the
marriage ceremony of Annie Pickens
to Lieut.. LIE Rochelle.
1t was a time when terror and an
guish were prevailing throughout the
entire South, and the booming of the
Union guns then roared in the harbors,
| but the little number who had col
lected- together had determined to
| smile even though their hearts were
| aching and they were trembling with
+ terror. Beneath the soft light of the
chandelier the clergyman stood with
the habiliments of the church en-
shrouding his venerable form. Before
him was the noble young Lieutenant
lin his official uniform, while beside
him leaned the beautiful and stately
woman who was to become his wife.
lIThere she stood. regal and proud,
possessing everything that prestige OF
birth, rank, and wealth could give.
I.sAre YOU readyp" asked the minister,
ltunclasping his book. Yes" said LIE
l!Rochelle. taking the hand of the bride.

moments quiet reigned, and it was
ascertained that the only fatal wound

waiting bride, who lay like a beautiful
crushed flower in the arms of hel
agonized lover. Laying her on s
lounge he bent over her, and in {

MISUNDERSTANDING.

ITO what extent has diamond-cut.
ting been developed in this country
was the query put by the writer to
leading diamond merchant on Maiden
lane.
.sWell," was the reply, as yet it can
hardly be considered as an element in
our diamond business. 1t is, in fact,
in its infancy. and its beginning dates
back scarcely more than fifteen years.
/ presume there are not two hundred
persons at the most engaged In this
branch of the diamond trade, and they
are confined chiefly to this city and
Boston. There are but few foreigners
among them, for a large number OF
American boys have been educated to
the trade within recent years. An
apprenticeship is served, l think, in
about three years. 1t is not likely,
however, that the work of polishing
and cutting diamonds will acquire any
substantial position in this country for
many years to come, mainly because
labor is so much cheaper in Amster-
dam, where whole families are en-
| gagged in this trade. Whenever the
demand for the stones is lessened,
| these can and do reduce the price to a
| figure with which it would be utterly
| impossible for Americans to compete.
1t would, of course, be a great advant.
age If we could bring the diamond
here in it's rough state in large quanti.
ties, as we would thereby save the
duty of 10 per cent. charged on the
cut stones. But at the present time
the quantity of rough diamonds I'M
ported is not nearly sufficient to make
any appreciable difference in the price
or to influence the market in any
respect.
There is no doubt about our excel
lency in cutting stones. We haveade
yeloped style which to a certain
extent sacrifices material in shaping
the stone, but it obtains thereby th'
sired. The credit of the introduction
of this new style is largely due to ,
Boston man, who was also the first t.
instruct American boys. in the art o
cutting and polishing. We have als'
made some improvements in ma
chinery, but the best ''laps" for polish
ing diamonds are still imported from
, Amsterdam.
